Washington sources reported that the US should select the "very best" among the applicants under the H-1B visas, the Trump administration told lawmakers by asserting that it was determined to ensure that the temporary work permits, most sought by Indian IT companies, do not harm domestic workers. Accordingly the H1B visa, popular among Indian IT companies and professionals, is a non-immigrant visa that allows US companies to employ foreign workers in specialty occupations that require theoretical or technical expertise.
Reportedly the technology companies depend on it to hire tens of thousands of employees each year from countries like India and China. Furthermore no other visa category has received as much attention in recent years as the H-1B, as reports of abuse of the program have caused outrage among the public, Homeland Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen told members of the powerful Senate Judiciary Committee during a Congressional hearing.
Moreover as per US President Donald Trump's 'Buy American, Hire American Executive Order, the Department of Homeland Security is reviewing current guidance and regulation for opportunities to protect American workers while also providing good faith employers the opportunity to recruit H-1B workers where needed.
